Conservatives are urging their grass-roots colleagues to mute their criticisms of House Speaker John Boehner and the GOP leadership, and to get behind their efforts to address out-of-control spending in Washington.

In an exclusive interview with Newsmax on Thursday, former GOP Rep. Pete Hoekstra said the tea-party faithful need to give Boehner “a little bit of breathing room.”

[Vendome]

There isn’t going to be any breathing room Pete.

We want results.

The GOP just needs a few better ‘talking points’> When the left brings up ‘Ideology’ and Planned Parenthood, the GOP should say “there will be NO Sacred Cows,” every item in the budget could be cut ...

Hoekstra: Tea Party Should Back Off on Boehner.

Tea Party, do what you know needs to be done.

Don't listen to the insiders and maintain the status quo.

[conservativebabe]

NO! No more breathing room. They’ve had it and squandered it every time.

We’re fed up with bipartisanship and compromise. Done, finished, end of story.

The Tea Party movement is the best thing to happen to this country and this party in a long time. Citizens fighting where the limp-wristed GOP won’t.

[luvie]

Conservative is as conservative does.

Let Boehner act conservative and conservatives approve.

[SevenMinusOne]

Nice! - The guy is a wimp -

"Presidents, regardless of party, face constant pressures from the Left -- from the Big Brother government, neofascist, high tax, property-confiscating liberals, from the econazis and global warmists, from the pro-abortionists, from those who are pro-one world and anti-American and from those who advocate cradle-to-grave socialism. (Have I left anyone out?) And, unless there are constant counter-pressures from those on the Right who believe in small government, low taxes, America first and individual liberty, presidents, under Left-wing pressure, tend to drift that way." --Lyn Nofziger

That's like the football team driving for a TD reaching the opponents 10-yd line and taking a timeout so the other team can get together on a strategy to stop them. I prefer General Patton's style!

[Reagan is King]

Yeah, we’ve tried the “give them a chance” thing before and gotten kicked in the teeth by the RINO leadership over and over and over.... No more!

[dmz]

I never trust anyone who looks like he/she has a year round sun tan. That is why Boehner is the wrong guy to be in the fight on our behalf.

<><>><><

LOL. At least you are basing your trust on the truly substantive issues.

Really? His appearance of a year round tan is the reason why he’s the wrong guy.

Hilarious.

[Cheerio]

Spit in their eye and show some leadership!

Every time the RATS say no, Boehner should up the ante. Increase the budget cut each and every time Obozo and Reid say NO - the GOP does not know how to negotiate or how to get the message out. RATS are gonna win this one in public opinion.

Tea Party senator: Obama might have planned shutdown with ‘malicious’ intent

[Siena Dreaming]

I can't believe the number of threads here where the headline is about how Obama is screwing up and when I click on the thread the majority of comments are basically "Boehner's fault".

Sheesh. Weird, weird priorities here sometimes.

[Bobby_Taxpayer]

There is a reason he has “Former” in front of his title! He should just go back to his rocking chair.

[wjcsux]

KEEP THE PRESSURE ON!

[Bobby_Taxpayer]

There is a reason he has “Former” in front of his title! He should just go back to his rocking chair.
